History

This website exists since July 2011. At that moment, StarFriend was not as easy to use as it is now : you then needed to play on the chineese SC2 client, without any graphic interface... StarFriend is split into 3 different teams : the SF team, which develops StarFriend, the Battle4sc2 team and the StarFriend.net team ( for chinese people )

You can see the old template of battle4sc2.com, and differents files of StarFriend 0.44 !

There, you see me when I was choosing the map.

I would like to thank everybody who supports and helps us to grow and gives a helping hand in the development of StarFriend!

What is StarFriend ?

StarFriend allows you to use SC2 in LAN without needing a connection to the BN servers. It's free and already approved by thousands of players worldwide

Why use StarFriend ?

Lack of LAN play caused problems in 2010 Major League Gaming tournament in Dallas, Texas, which experienced severe delays and problems with BN 2.0. Another major BN 2.0 failure occurred during Blizz's own GSL World Championship Team League tournament in March 2011 when one player was dropped from the game resulting in a do-over. And in April 2011 the Major League Gaming tournament in Dallas experienced ?chronic lag issues? (that) have plagued BN all day, making many games difficult to play and nearly unbearable to watch.
